Backstory (I think this is correct, from memory): There was an outdoor comedy festival in Philly, with Bill Burr as the headliner. As the night went on, Burr watched the Philly crowd become increasingly drunk and openly hostile toward the other and less well-known comedians, intentionally ruining their sets with heckling and boos, running some off-stage, and all to the wild cheers of the crowd. I’m not sure if he was asked to go on early in hopes of appeasing and/or quieting the crowd, or he just chose to do so, but however it happened, Burr walked on stage and proceeds to take on the entire City of Philadelphia in what may be the best 11 minutes of comedy, ever. ** NSFW LANGUAGE ** There’s obviously terrible and entirely NSFW language throughout this clip, so be forewarned about that, and before hitting play.
Jerry Clower. In ‘98, went to the Big Orange pep rally at Tommy Bowl the night before the Florida game....during the rah-rah’s a huge orange and white Cadillac hurst comes driving into Thompson Boling. Place falls silent, as two guys pull a coffin out of the back and place it on the stage. Coffin bursts open and Jerry Clower sits up inside, wearing an orange and white tuxedo. Bedlam. * EDIT, it was 1994 *
